    Leafs coach Richard Peddie may have his job on the line but he won't know anytime soon. General Manager John Ferguson hasn't been given permission from the board to hand the coach his walking papers. What action could Ferguson be facing?

    		Paul Maurice is the head coach involved. It should be his name in the question, rather than Richard Peddie. In answer to the question, Ferguson faced dismissal, and was fired on Tuesday, January 22, 2008.

    Paul Maurice, (born January 30, 1967 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario) is currently the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League, a post he assumed May 12, 2006 following one season at the helm of the Toronto Marlies.

    After six months of speculation, the team had replaced general manager John Ferguson with interim GM Cliff Fletcher. And while Maurice's job was also believed to be in jeopardy, the coach was told that he would remain behind Toronto's bench for at least the duration of the season.

    "It's a very, very difficult day both professionally and personally," said Maurice, who was hired by Ferguson in 2005 to coach Toronto's American Hockey League affiliate. He was promoted to replace former Leafs coach Pat Quinn a year later.
